I think I'm getting a touch of the head crud that some other family members have struggled with the past several days. Not a sinus infection, as far as I can tell, but annoying.

Today is the last day of work before the Christmas holiday, for me. Susan has been off all week — well-deserved, and much needed.

  Here are the Crocus Millers, in a picture taken in January of 2018. In March 2018, we lost dad (front right) to kidney disease, histoplasmosis, diabetes, and other factors including just old age. Then on August 31, 2022, we lost Allan (back right) to the decades' toll of alcoholism. The shockingly handsome one to Allan's left is yours truly. Mother was born in 1947, so I guess she's going on 71 in this picture, and dad would have been 80.

Well, I'm going to run my 9:30 am EST provider makeup group in a little over half an hour from now. It looks like a fairly relaxed day compared to my schedule earlier in the week. Someday over the break, I've got to finish some discharge reviews.

Okay day at work. No noteworthy drama. K and D don't like each other, still. I've got a touch of burning sensation when I urinate. I've been eating cranberries and drinking some cherry juice.

My shoulders, neck and back are hurting really badly, like they did 2-3 weeks ago. I've taken four Ibuprofen and had a fair amount of whiskey. It's easing, some. But, I'm going over my calorie allotment for the third day in a row. No help for it. It was 38 °F by the time I came through Columbia after work.

It's gonna be cold all weekend, I think, so I'll have to work-out on the exercise bike, probably.

I've been doing some light reading on Docker containerization this evening. We finished Money Heist (what's available currently) last night, and tonight we've just watched one-offs.

S is also having significant shoulder, neck, and back pain, so perhaps it is the weather causing it.

I've been installing a few apps on my laptop via Chocolatety. I have the space: I removed about 3 GB of games from my hard drive (still available on a backup drive).
